Our Chase Cover Repair Process in Sewall's Point
- Inspect the cover, storm collar, seams and fasteners to identify every entry point
- Check the chase interior and top plate for existing water damage and rot
- Measure the chase top — outside dimensions, flue locations and pipe diameters
- Present a written estimate stating material, gauge, skirt depth and what is included
- Fabricate the cover to those measurements
- Remove the old cover and address any framing damage found underneath
- Inspect every metal component for salt corrosion — Sewall's Point sits right on the water, where caps and dampers fail first
Local Climate & Your Chimney in Sewall's Point
Living near the water in Sewall's Point means a chimney is weathering constantly, not seasonally. Salt accelerates corrosion on the cap and damper, humidity keeps masonry from ever fully drying, and each storm drives water at joints that were never designed to take it horizontally. Small failures here compound quickly.
What Actually Wears Out a Chimney in Sewall's Point
Fireplaces in Sewall's Point see very little burning, so most of what goes wrong here has nothing to do with fire. It is weather and time: rusted caps, cracked crowns, failed flashing and water working its way down an unused flue. The chimney is exposed to sun, salt and storms every single day whether it is ever lit or not.
Chase Cover Repair Near Sewall's Point
Sewall's Point sits on a boundary: some of its nearest neighbours — Ocean Breeze, Stuart, Jensen Beach, Port St. Lucie, Port St. Lucie West, Tequesta — are effectively waterfront while others are far enough inland to escape the salt entirely. That is why chase cover repair here is not one standard checklist. Two houses fifteen minutes apart genuinely need different things looked at first.
What Storm Season Means in Sewall's Point
Coastal Martin County carries higher design wind speeds than the interior, and a chimney takes that loading directly — it stands above the roofline with nothing shielding it. In Sewall's Point that makes cap attachment, crown condition and the state of the mortar at the top courses the things most worth checking before hurricane season rather than after it.

We serve 4 communities across Martin County, Sewall's Point among them — including Stuart, Jensen Beach, Ocean Breeze. Homes within one county tend to share an era of construction and the same exposure, so problems that show up in one town usually turn up in its neighbours too.

What is a chimney chase cover?
It is the metal pan covering the top of a framed chimney chase — the box clad in siding, stucco or brick veneer that houses the flue pipe from a factory-built fireplace. It is the only barrier between the weather and the wood framing inside the chase, which is why a failed one causes damage well beyond the cover itself.
Why are there rust streaks running down my chimney?
Rain is running across a rusting galvanized chase cover and carrying the rust down the siding. The streaks are the visible symptom; the actual problem is that water is entering the chase. It is the most reliable sign that a cover has already failed rather than is about to.
Can a rusted chase cover be repaired instead of replaced?
Usually not worth it. Galvanized steel corrodes from the underside as well, so patching a hole or coating the surface leaves the process running and the next leak appears elsewhere on the same pan. Repair makes sense when a sound stainless pan has a failed storm collar, a lifted skirt or degraded corner sealant.

When is the best time of year for chase cover repair in Sewall's Point?
There is no burning season to work around in Sewall's Point — fireplaces here are rarely lit. What matters instead is the weather cycle: having the chimney looked at before the summer storm season is more useful than waiting for winter.
What causes most chimney problems in Sewall's Point?
Salt air and water. Being near the coast, Sewall's Point chimneys lose metal components first — caps, dampers and flashing corrode faster than inland — and wind-driven rain then finds its way through whatever gap that opens up.
